I tried to use Paint to show what I'm talking about. The red line is what I think the contour of the ground is. The blue is the "bridge" to be constructed. Two would have to be constructed, one per wheel, of course.

gmferg is absolutely correct. Either backing in at an angle or building a bridge with 2x6's should solve your driveway problem. Also the rear of your trailer is low in that pi. I can't tell if it's hitched up or on the tongue jack but it is important that the trailer be level front to rear while hitched up.

The better solution is still the lift kit. There will always be gas stations, VG and other driveways that may be worse than yours.

The guy that I bought my trailer from had the driveway below and no lift kit. He used a bridge.
